That creates a whole mess of moderation issues. No matter how innocently you'd want to use that feature, others would use it to harass.

Long story short: The FC version has the better cart, and the better engine, but it's detrimental to speedrunning to allow it to compete with the NES version.

And I am sad since I love my FC cart. I'm one of the few to use one. But I know full well we won't go on forever with benign neglect once people realize they can save substantial time using that version.

Yeah I know. That's why I wanted to apply the default variable to all runs, since 99% of the runs on the board (no exaggeration) all have the same variable.

But it won't give you the button to set the default variable unless you uncheck and recheck the default.

Worked perfectly. Thanks so much.

Will try it thank you!

Hi, just tried this and it doesn't work. I created a new variable "Version" in The Legend of Zelda, to apply to all categories. I created three values for it. NES (Default), Famicom, FDS. I then set the variable to be a subcategory.

Instead of applying NES to all runs as a default, it just made all the runs vanish. So I deleted the variable.

How do I apply the default to all runs?

thanks,

Weird how the thread got deleted so now the supermod can claim he was only banning people from discord.

Sounds like nobody's banned from the boards here now, so problem solved!

Thanks.

Hi,

If I create a new variable for a game, one applying to all categories, and set a default value for that variable, will that value apply to all previously-submitted runs?

I ask because I may be setting a new set of sub-categories for a game, and nearly every single run currently in the category, will belong in the same sub-category. I'd like to apply that variable default to every run, except a few I'll manually fix.

Right now the community is still discussing the issue, but this change seems likely.

in the Legend of Zelda and Zelda II we have two or three categories that need load times. But if we turn on load times for the whole GAME, then it spams load/no load times for all the categories that don't need them.

I wish it were a per-category setting, and not a per-game setting.

As usual Red Candle has the answer. In this case with a graphic by Lack:

I just look forward to when this third extension tier works without a secondary game being put in.

Lately there's been a push in Zelda 2 for a bunch of weird categories. They belong on the site, as people are running them, seriously routing them, and having a good time with it. And that's what counts. But they really are a third tier of category that really only pertains to the core of the game's community.

Perhaps the way forward is to generalize the Miscellaneous tag. Instead of having a toggle, allow the creation of sections of categories, in addition to the 'main' list of categories as a default section. Then have a drop down of categories, giving access to "Miscellaneous," "Memes," "Weird," "Segmented," "High Scores," or whatever else.

I have on the real thing.

An SNES controller would be fine as long as you're not adding extra bindings to the extra buttons, to give yourself an unfair advantage. Same with other controllers.

... there is a low% board for first and second quest.

Categories are also a good idea since yeah, you're depending on undocumented features.

Yeah don't delete. Just rename the categories that use the now-impossible tricks to some name referencing the older versions.

Then add new categories for fresh competition.

When it says 'complete' the nights, you can't actually argue that skipping them is the same as completing them.

If skipping is the same as completing, then any% and 100% are the same thing.

We don't think so. A 'glitchless' run would do some extra walking and kill a few extra enemies, and that's it.

I don't see enough interest to support that category on the boards.

Maybe you should make your stream list opt-in, instead of opt-out. Because I sure don't give a rip what people like iluvpie2 think when I'm streaming.
